It's not cutting them out, it's assembling them!! I watched the MFT video and they recommended holding the end of the flower with tweezers and winding it....yikes. Hard! You have to get the right tension.

Then, I watched another video that just wound it around a paintbrush handle. That wasn't too bad, but it ended up a lot smaller than I would have liked. I just have to figure out how to adjust the flower without it unravelling in my fingers!!

2 words: Quilling Tool! Does exactly what this video needed to hold the paper in place while you twirl it! Cheap $4 Michaels, ACmoore or Quilling Superstore on line sell em! There's a small slit at the top of the metal part of the tool and it holds the paper/cardstock in place. If your card stock is "too thick" you simply widen the slit a bit--I have my trusty Quilling tools right here for stuff like this!
